Default Re: Problem with Drake fuel neck

This difference suggests the bend of the Drake neck is different than an original which explains why it won't line-up with the fender hole. Has anyone else found this problem?

Ya know, looking at you pics...how is the neck joined into the part that screws into the tank?

It looks as if it not oriented in there correctly..can it be removed, reoriented and welded back in?
